They used to love them. Now they hate them. What changed? And Michelle Obama, who has never spoken in public without complaining, goes viral for claiming that black women just never have the chance to articulate their pain. I'm Michael Knowles. This is the Michael Knowles Show.

Welcome back to the show. There is breaking news. Maybe I'll just do my whole show on this story. It's so beautifully delightful. Don Lemon of CNN fame, of CNN infamy, former CNN journalist Don Lemon, who recently went viral for conspiring with a mob to invade a church during a worship service, has just been arrested by the federal government. We will get to that wonderful story momentarily. Maybe we'll extend the show. We'll just make it a big party. We'll get to that momentarily. First, though, I want to tell you about Amazon MGM Studios' new movie, Melania. From Amazon MGM Studios comes Melania. Every protocol, every precaution, every move coordinated. This new film takes you inside the 20 days leading up to the 2025 presidential inauguration through the eyes of the First Lady herself.

What happened to Don Lemon during the Minnesota church protest?

Michael Knowles 2:23
Melania is only in theaters... January 30th, what's today? Here we are, it's today, it's today. Only in theaters, go check out Melania today. This is big. I'm just, I'm hearing it for the first time. I'm just, he was an amazing woman. No, hold on, the comparison is breaking down with the RBG thing. Don Lemon, Daily Wire reporting. Don Lemon arrested by feds for role in the Minnesota church protest. Is it too early to have a cigar? This is something I've been calling for for a little while now. Maybe during one of our clips, maybe I'll spark up a cigar. This is very good news. And I wasn't sure. Look, I'm obviously a supporter of the administration, big Trump supporter. I say they get it right 99.7% of the time.

There have been a few things where I've said, I don't agree with that or that's not quite right. I did not think they were going to do it. I feared that the administration thought, look, we have these ringleaders dead to rights on the Minnesota invading a church, screaming in the faces of kids, violating the FACE Act. We got those guys dead to rights. Don Lemon is going to claim some kind of journalist exemption, First Amendment protection, and pretend that he was merely a reporter covering the event rather than one of the conspirators of the event. And so I thought the feds had said, you know what? Never mind. We're not going to go there. Ladies and gentlemen, they got him. According to Lemon's attorney, Abby Lowell, he was arrested and said, quote, the First Amendment exists to protect journalists whose role it is to shine light on the truth and hold those in power accountable.

There is no more important time for people like Don Lemon to be doing this work, to be doing this work. What is this work? This work is to violate federal law by disrupting church services, screaming in the faces of little kids. What is this work? So you knew that was going to be the defense, First Amendment. However, this is a bogus defense. You cannot commit a crime and then get off the hook because you claim to have been a journalist while committing the crime.
